Intern for Oxfam Denmark's national program – spring 2027

Do you want to help create change in Denmark by taking on inequality? Are you interested in democracy, climate justice and civil society? Then read on!

Inequality is also growing in Denmark. It skews who has influence, weakens trust in democracy and makes it harder to build global solidarity and support for important causes, such as a just green transition.

About the internship

You will become part of the Public Affairs, Advocacy and Domestic Program department, where you will work in Oxfam Denmark's new national program. The program is a collection of projects that will address inequality as a structural barrier, strengthen democratic resilience and enable ambitious climate action. We work across the three themes with a primary target group aged 16 to 30.

During your internship, you will have the opportunity to be involved in all parts of a project cycle. Both in the implementation and reporting on existing projects, and also in the process of generating ideas and developing applications for upcoming projects. You will work together with the department's other staff who handle analysis and public affairs, but also with external project partners and participants.

You will, among other things,

• Support the implementation of the program's projects through coordination, activity planning and follow-up.
• Conduct research and analyses on inequality in Denmark and translate them into accessible formats such as fact sheets, briefs or notes.
• Be involved in planning and hosting events, e.g., at the Folk Festival (Folkemødet).
• Provide input and help qualify new project proposals.
• Contribute to documenting the program's results and learning.

Your competencies

You are a student in a longer tertiary education program in, e.g., political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, communication, sustainability, global studies or similar, and we would like you to be in the final year of your bachelor’s or starting your master’s.

You find it exciting to connect knowledge and analysis with engagement and action. You are comfortable with both quantitative and qualitative methods and are not afraid to dive into a report or a dataset, but you are just as happy to be involved in planning a workshop or an event. You are comfortable communicating in both Danish and English, and you can convey complex topics clearly and engagingly. You are curious, take initiative and thrive being part of building something where not everything is fixed yet.

It is an advantage if you have experience with project coordination, event planning or voluntary work, e.g., activist, in youth movements, or in civil society.
